Well, it would be the PDF that you might be happy to publish - either on
a site where people pay to download or on a free site (such as IMSLP, I
can publish it there if you wish, as I have an account there). I
wouldn't encourage publishing the Denemo source file as, like a
Microsoft Word document that could be mis-used for malicious purposes.
Whatever you choose, we could put a link to your work on Denemo.org
(assuming it gives a good impression of the program's capabilities!)
You have some questions still outstanding - about fermata on whole
measure rest and merging them from different voices... There is a nice
facility for cutting down a large file to a size you can send (in the
staff menu, Delete Measures Before/After cursor) if these are still
problems.
